Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse Coming to PS3 via PSN

[6souls]

Telltale Games PR Manager Chris Schmidt has announced today that Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse is coming to PS3 via PlayStation Network this April, 2010.

To quote:

We're http://www.telltalegames.com/, and we make awesome episodic adventure games!

You may know of our work - http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland, http://www.telltalegames.com/strongbad, and http://www.telltalegames.com/wallaceandgromit are a few of our recent titles - but we've never launched a game on the illustrious PlayStation 3.

Until now, that is! Coming in April, http://www.telltalegames.com/samandm...evilsplayhouse hits the PlayStation Store, and we couldn't be more excited to bring the third season of our landmark episodic series to you, the PlayStation Nation!

If you're not familiar with the rabbit/dog detective duo, the following description ripped unceremoniously from the press release explains our heroes' new unhinged adventure:

In Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse, Max has been bestowed with a set of powerful psychic abilities from an unusual ancient source that he'll wield against the strongest and strangest foes the Freelance Police have ever faced.

Join gaming's greatest dog and rabbit sleuths as they investigate the source of these powers, with manic Max exercising new and amazing abilities with each episode. Max's shape shifting, teleportation, mind reading and future sight abilities prove particularly useful as intergalactic simians, eldritch gods, under-dwellers and an arcane scholar ruthlessly hunt down those powers for their own evil ends.

For the first time on the PlayStation Store, we're teaming up with the fine folks at SCEA to offer Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse for pre-order beginning March 18. Customers who pre-purchase the five-episode comedy saga will pay $29.99 (discounted from $34.99) until the game launches on PSN. Not too bad!

We can't wait for you to experience the first episode, The Penal Zone, next month! In the meantime, go ahead and take a peek inside the Devil's Playhouse with the trailer below!

This is good news! I've been in a bit of a pickle as I don't have an Xbox 360 or a Windows Machine- the Wii version of season one was really really annoying to play with the Wiimote (no support for the Classic Controller either).

Season two was announced for the Mac (and apparently season two just got released on the Wii), so I guess I can get it that way, then get Season three for the PS3. Yeesh.

So this is different then season 1/2? Sweet, I thought they were just remaking it for ps3.

Hit the Road was one of my favorite games back in that era. But, for some reason, I can't seem to get back into enjoying Sam & Max like I used to. Is it just me? It's just me, huh?
